When material above 4K is used in a serious workflow, it tends to be at the acquisition phase only. In post production, raw files get transcoded to a proxy format (e.g. ProRes 422 Proxy) for editing. 4. In multi-user workflows, media is commonly accessed directly from shared network storage instead of duplicated onto individual machines. 5. Effects work is normally handled on a shot-by-shot basis. Even if they're working on local copies, we're talking mere minutes of raw material, if not seconds.
- kranke155 7mo agoSSDs can do fine even on USB3 with 4k ProRes 4444 files. At least on my projects. Not sure what OP is doing. I dont know anyone who shoots/finishes in 8k. Most pipelines I know of are 4k.
